Abstract
Children across the globe experience the phenomenon of quickly losing interest in their toys, leading to the accumulation and wasteful disposal of toys. After conducting research and considering the characteristics of toys along with their potential use cases, we propose Softy, a modular interactive kit designed for plush toys. Corresponding to envisioned application scenarios, we have devised two types of modules and three interaction modes. This paper elucidates the prototype design and development of Softy, delving into the possibilities of rekindling children's interest in toys by incorporating interactive movements into them.
